On May 22, 2025, two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky (30) and Sarah Lynn Milgrim (26), were shot dead outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. They had just attended an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee. The suspected shooter, Elias Rodriguez (31) from Chicago, allegedly shouted pro-Palestinian slogans and cited the Gaza conflict as his motive. He has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and other offenses. Authorities are treating the incident as a hate crime and potential act of terrorism, amid growing concerns over rising antisemitic violence. (PC: Reuters)
